jarred cutting in the scenes where the doorman becomes humiliated.

The only person to be kind towards him is the night watchman, who covers him with his coat as he falls asleep.

In the final scene of the film, when both the doorman and the night watchman are in the carriage, a beggar asks the doorman for some money. The doorman invites the beggar to the carriage and even gives a tip to the new doorman, who is now in charge of bringing the guests inside.
